ITT we post and discuss /vr/ games where you get to explore a human house, yard, etc. as a small creature or object. There is something neat about turning normal everyday places into vast worlds to explore and mountain ranges to overcome. Any recommendations?
Is there a consensus about which of the games is better, the first or the second?
Sim Ant, but that game is so easy that you can do nothing and still win.

Level 2 of Super Bonk IIRC
I have faint memories of playing small soldiers on the Gameboy when I was a child.
I also remember it being shit. There is also a PS1 version, though.
>>4020134
Yes, the first is better. Especially in co-op, considering how laggy the 2nd is.
>>4020728
Just looked into it, looks like shit.
Also, Macro Zone from Mario Land 2 comes to mind.
Sub Culture takes place in a pond and you can farm human waste.
I remembered another one.
Supposedly Toy Story 2 on PS1 is pretty decent.

Micro Machines, obviously. Also, The Smurfs' Nightmare.
The first Toy Story game on 16-bit consoles is all about this. I believe Clockwork Knight was similar.
Battle Bugs
Tom & Jerry is one of my favorite cartoons but I could never find a good game based on it.
I played a bit of the NES and Genesis games, and I owned the SNES version as a kid, and none of them were really good games. Maybe they aren't horrible either but have a lot of design flaws.
The SNES game's controls are a bit slipper and floaty, but they work. Most of the time. It has a kind of weird mechanic for jumping high (you need make a normal jump then press jump again once Jerry touches the floor again, to make a bouncing effect). I don't think I was aware of this as a kid, only found about it recently when replaying it.
Playing as Jerry, the game fits OP's criteria, but you don't get to the house level until the end, before that you have a Cinema level (and I think this was because this game was released close to the release of the T&J movie, the very first stage in the game gets you through a marquee that says "tom and jerry the movie". The second level takes place in a junkyard, I liked how they used glitch graphics to make the piles of junk. It looks shitty, but it's supposed to look like that because it's junk, genius. The third level is a very hard toy level with some creepy teddy bears and jumping jacks on the back, while toy soldiers and flying planes attack you on a lego field. This level was the "rental" difficulty one. Fuck it.
Finally you get to play at the house stage, and it's also hard as balls.
Another thing I like about it is the music, it's very crappy (just 2 sound channels, a bass and a pipe organ, those 2 instruments make the entire soundtrack of the game, which is like 3 or 4 tracks). It's poorly made, but I like the actual songs.
Basically, this game is not worth your time unless you like T&J too much, but I still like it, nostalgia and all that.

This game should have been a fun strategy game. Instead it was "Find the ONE way to win this level", level after level.
I'll still probably end up replaying this soon.
Goblins Quest 3 does this a couple times.
Is Spider an obscure game? I haven't seen it on /vr/.
Spoiler:it sucked hard. Which is unfortunate, because the premise (Twisted Metal with RC cars) was original and interesting enough. I don't think I've seen an RC car game that was straight up car combat without racing.
This piece of crap here. Awful game.

I would've never found out about Apidya if it weren't for /vr/

This, also Level 2 of Bonk 3 (which came out first)
An underrated arcade game with creepy-ass cabinet art.

I bet they've got nothing on this.

This!
Play as a guy turned into a cockroach who explores a grungy bar and his past.
Bad Mojo is an obvious mention. What they don't tell you about this game while praising it's premise and background art is that it's a '90s FMV turd in all aspects, disguised as a cockroach game. You got bad acting, bad videos, idiotic pseudo-mystical story and well, it's a fucking '90s FMV turd, you either know what I mean or don't.
Toy Commadner for Dreamcast was really good.
Micro Machines scratches that itch pretty well if you like top-down racing
Airfix Dogfighter - PC arcade flight sim of model planes

my elementary school had a field day to an exhibition concerning insects, live butterflies, praying mantis and so on. In one corner there was a terminal with a game, that fact alone didn't mesh at all with the rest of the exhibition's concept. you controlled a cockroach via a trackball in a man-made environment, to this day I'm not sure if they didn't simply slap a part of bad mojo in there, since the graphics as I remember them are very alike. kinda strange.

Why was this a thing? Was there a hippie revival happening in the Silicon Valley?
Shining Force II

The developers of this game, Riedel Software Productions, went on to form Running With Scissors.
That Toy Story game on Sega Genesis. Fuck that claw boss, seriously.
